Riso UK has partnered with Bowe Systec to bring to the market ‘The Bridge’, an integrated print and mail solution ideal for hybrid mail applications and immediate reprints.
The new product is due to be showcased for the first time in the UK at Ipex, ExCel in March, and aims to reduce cost and time for short and medium print runs.
Tatsuo Murakami, who heads up the Tokyo-based company in the UK, commented, ‘The Bridge offers a white paper mailing solution. With its unique inkjet technology, high speed and reliability the Riso ComColor enables The Bridge solution to be a cost effective option for full colour or mono end-to-end mailings.’
The integration of the two systems enables users to print documents on demand, on the latest ComColor inkjet printers from Riso, with the use of a white paper solution eliminating waste from out of date stock, saving time and money. The Bridge automates all production steps.
After the mailings have been printed on demand, they are automatically transported to the Bowe Systec Vario inserting system where they are then inserted.
The product is an ideal solution to the processing of hybrid mail, the processing of sensitive documents such as confidential billings, medical documents, administrations and legal documents, all with confidentiality of date assured because no manual intervention is required between printing and inserting.
Waleed Khan, managing director of Bowe Systec UK explained, ‘The Bridge gives customers much more flexibility in how they manage their print and mailing. It provides them with the power, speed and reliability to produce up to 8,200 finished items in an hour. That’s in addition to the print runs they normally do but without the need to add large, expensive print solutions to their systems.’
